WISDOM AND NATURE 2020
ONLINE BIDDING

Thank you for visiting Wisdom and Nature’s online auction. This fundraising exhibition brings together a unique collection of artworks that reveal experiences and perceptions of interconnectivity, the beauty of our planet and the wisdom of its people.
All proceeds raised through the sale of these works will support the realisation of locally-run educational projects designed to preserve culture and knowledge among indigenous communities, educational films presenting pragmatic perspectives from ancestral traditions on issues we face in society, community-led, interconnected solutions emerging from the Holistic Visions Symposium, among other projects designed to bridge the know-how of modernity with the wisdom of ancestral traditions. Find out more about these initiatives in the exhibition catalogue.
Please have a look at the auction items or donation options available to help us raise critical funds for our cause. To read more about the work of Le Ciel Foundation please visit: lecielfoundation.com.
The exhibition opened at Christie’s in New York from 28th February until 4th March 2020. Due to the Coronavirus, the London showing has been postponed indefinitely. We will keep you updated on the new dates as soon as we know more.
With thanks to all the incredible artists, galleries, sponsors, committee members, ambassadors, patrons and friends who co-created this exhibition and are by our sides to make it a huge success.
